Only you are irreplaceable

The blond boy vomited non-stop by the river, recalling the bloody scene not long ago, his stomach churned with discomfort, he coughed for a long time while holding his heart, and the physiological tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, which made people feel distressed.

Aurora looked at the backs of Almin and Mikasa, and was deeply moved for a moment. The deep corridors of memory were full of killing scenes over the years.

She was twisted to the extreme, she had always maintained an attitude of respecting life, but she was cold-blooded and ruthless at these moments.

For her, this seemed to be a normal thing.

At the moment when she was surrounded by gendarmes, she didn't even have the slightest hesitation, and wiped out all the enemies so neatly.

But these children are different from her, especially for people like Almin, the feeling of remorse after shooting may destroy his belief.

Alas, it seems that she needs to give them psychological counseling.

Aurora gave them a while to adjust, until Almin's sobs subsided, she walked over and said: "Okay, let's go in first, everyone is still waiting."

The dilapidated warehouse was full of dust. When the three entered, Charlotte and Martin were discussing moving down the old wooden box as a temporary seat.Aurora arranged the order of standing guard three times, five times and two times, walked to Levi's side and squeezed his hand, "I'll go out for a while."

"where to?"

"The market on South Street, if the Duke sends us news, there is a high probability that he will pass it there." They used to use this method to communicate occasionally, but now the situation is special, and I don't know if it is useful, but it is always safe to go there some.

Levi didn't speak, and untied Aurora's blood-stained cloak, "Mikasa, bring your cloak."

Aurora waited for Levi to button her neckline, and smiled, like a white magnolia.

"I'm leaving."

"Yeah." Levi said, raising his hand to caress her smooth cheek, "Be careful."

Aurora smiled and nodded, her right hand was slightly tightened, her eyes were filled with gentle light, "I'll be back in a while."

Aurora went to South Street, which was three blocks away from the stronghold, and pretended to be a commoner, picked and bought some food in the market, wandered around for more than half an hour and walked through more than a dozen small stalls, but nothing unusual happened.

Seeing that the sky was gradually getting dark, she still had no progress here, and she was a little depressed for a while.

Did she make a mistake in her judgment? It shouldn't be...

Aurora absent-mindedly took the change from the bakery proprietress, and the moment she turned around, she was hit by a child who suddenly jumped out.

The little boy in common clothes sat on the ground and cried, Aurora knelt down and helped him stand up, and patted the dust from the corner of his clothes, "I'm sorry, did it hurt somewhere?"

The boy cried with tears and snot on his face and didn't answer. Aurora was embarrassed and had to observe carefully on her own. She should not be injured. "Okay, okay, a man must be strong, don't cry."

Aurora was still having a headache, how to coax the child, a woman came from a distance carrying a vegetable basket, Aurora took a closer look, the woman in a long skirt was sweating profusely and her face was flushed, maybe she was frightened .

"Didn't Mom say not to run around? You scared me to death!!"

Aurora stood aside, bent down and apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I knocked him down, and I'm not very good at coaxing the child who keeps crying. Please see if he is injured anywhere, and I will compensate for the medical expenses. "

The woman listened, and picked up the boy's clothes non-stop to check. The little boy's face was as red as a boiled shrimp, and he stopped his mother's hand and said: "It's not my sister who hit me, I ran too fast Hit her...me, I wasn't hurt."

With a decent smile, Aurora watched the woman tidy up the child's clothes in embarrassment, took the boy's hand and walked to her, "Then you and sister say sorry."

"Sister, I'm sorry."

The little boy's apology in a childlike voice can be said to have melted Aurora's aunt's heart. He has a pair of bright brown eyes with curly black hair, and his skin is fair and fleshy like a crystal bun.

This little face must feel good when pinched...

"It's okay, don't run so fast in the future, if you are hit by a carriage, you will have to see a doctor."

Aurora smiled and waved goodbye to the little boy. When the little boy arrived, he turned around and looked at her again, his smiling eyes narrowed.

This child is so cute... It's a pity...

Thinking of her own situation, Aurora's mood dropped visibly to the naked eye.At this time, the owner of the fruit stand who was watching the whole process suddenly spoke up, "Kids of this age love to run and dance, and the streets are full of crazy running children on weekdays."

"Ah... yes." Aurora responded twice, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the boss.

"Miss, today's apples are very fresh, do you want to buy some?"

Aurora turned her head, looked carefully from top to bottom, suppressed the silver light in her eyes, and raised a perfect arc on her lips, it was a smile with a sure chance of winning.

"Can I try it?"

When Aurora went back, Sasha was standing guard at the door. She took out apples and bread from the bag and threw them to the cute little Sasha, who had enough food and everything. She calmly entered the warehouse under the adoring eyes of the other party.

"I'm back." Aurora put down the kraft paper bag in her arms, stood up and stretched her slightly sore arms, "I bought some apples and bread, share them with everyone, and keep the dry food on your body first."

Levi sat on the wooden box with a cup in his hand, pulled his lover to him, and rubbed Aurora's soft little hand with some nostalgia, "How is it?"

"The Duke was restrained and dared not help us. Fortunately, Claire lives in his mansion, so her safety should not be a big problem. After all, the Central Military Police dare not openly confront his personal guards. On Erwin's side, he will find a way to contact Pixis to help mediate, and how could Erwin obediently obey the arrangement of the central government, let's wait for his signal."

She burned the note given by the boss immediately after reading it. There might be spies everywhere in the whole city, and she dared not leave any clues.

Having said that, she was really lucky this time. She wandered around the market and was almost desperate. Fortunately, she met an informant at the end of the street.The Duke is also really careful. The fruit stand looks terribly dilapidated, and its location is so remote that no one else would notice it.

Everyone sat together, the kerosene lamp injected dim light into the dark warehouse, Aurora ate the bread and looked around, the children in the 104th period obviously didn't have much appetite, unlike Charlotte and the others, who ate the crunchy apples The voices came and went.

Levi took a panoramic view of the dejected scene in front of him, and asked aloud, "What? Can't you eat in such a dirty place?"

"No." Armin retorted without hesitation, and paused for a while, "Jean, there is one thing I don't understand."

"What's the matter?" Jean's forehead was covered with sweat, and he was terrified in the face of Almin's question.

"When I shot to help you, to be honest, I thought it would be too late. I'm sorry, but...why did I shoot first?"

Jean gritted his teeth and turned his face away, closed his eyes regretfully, thinking of the female soldier's struggling expression.

"That... That's because..." He tremblingly said, hesitating but he didn't say the rest.

"The opponent hesitated the moment he shot, right." Levi said the answer for him.

Fear and regret have already occupied all of Jean's thoughts, and he is somewhat unable to face the current situation. "Sorry, Armin, I should have done it right away."

"Really? So that's the way it is. The person I killed must be a very gentle person. He must be more human than me." Armin's blue eyes were as quiet as a piece of stagnant water. Bo Lan, the pupils that have lost focus made him look like a walking dead, he muttered plausibly, "I pulled the trigger immediately, I..."

Levi is used to such situations, but he can't bear the torture of these teenagers, he can only use his own way to comfort them, "Armin, you have dirty your hands, come back I am no longer my past self.”

Armin's body trembled, as if stimulated, and Mikasa at the side hurriedly stopped, "Why do you say that?"

"Accept the new self. If you were the old self, Jean wouldn't be sitting here. The reason why you pulled the trigger immediately was because you saw that your companion was going to be killed. Armin, thanks to you Only with our own hands can we lose one less companion, thank you."

After finishing speaking, Armin lowered his eyes and sank his shoulders in relief.Aurora didn't make a sound, and took a sip of warm water after seeing Almin's reaction. She didn't have to worry about Almin anymore, the child would digest it by itself.

"Captain Levi, originally I thought we shouldn't fight humans. It was because I was afraid of you who suddenly ordered us to do so..."

Aurora raised her eyebrows, glanced at the expressions of other people calmly, and estimated that the 104 issues were all the same as Jean thought.Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sweat for Levi, why are the children still so afraid of you...

"Also, I... I'm afraid of hurting humans. But, it was me who was wrong, and I will definitely shoot next time."

"I didn't say anything that was really right."

Levi's words shattered the determination that Jean had just made, and he raised his eyes in bewilderment, full of puzzlement in his eyes.

Aurora, who had been silent all this time, spoke out at this moment, attracting everyone's attention.

"What happened in the war, there is no absolute right or wrong, no one knows what the end of what we do will usher in."

What's wrong with Jean's softness and kindness, and what's wrong with Armin's timely assistance? Everyone just made different choices.

After finishing speaking, she drank the warm water in the cup, got up and walked in, "Okay, busy with business, let's talk."

She stretched out her hand to untie the cloth strip from the man's mouth, and she interrupted him just as he quibbled a few words. Cole leaned aside and gnawed an apple, seeing Aurora smiling like a fox, he knew that something was wrong.

"President Liebs, I've known you for a long time. I'm Aurora, maybe you've heard my name before."

Seeing that his identity was dismantled, the man's expression froze for a moment, and then he cut his throat, "I was just following the order of the Central Gendarmerie, and it failed. Our chamber of commerce will have all its properties confiscated, not only me and my stupid Danzi, even the subordinates will be executed quietly."

"Do you want to be killed just like this?" Levi stood with Aurora, throwing this soul question to Libbs.

"Ok?"

Aurora squatted down to maintain a level with the president, she had a smirk like a witch with malicious intentions, she almost wrote on her forehead that I give you a choice or not.

She has a lot of experience in buying and selling by force.

She slashed open the hemp rope that bound Libs's hands, and casually threw the broken rope aside, as if you were sincere if I untied it for you.

"President, let's make a deal."

The crowd first gathered in the remote mountain hut. Aurora leaned on a dilapidated wooden chair and sat by the door with her eyes closed. Cole followed her and stood guard outside.

Various sounds of insects in the mountains and forests in the middle of the night come and go, accompanied by the fragrance of green grass permeating the air.

Aurora slowly opened her eyes, raised her legs like a gentleman, and Cole glanced sideways, apparently already used to it.

"Cole, let me discuss something with you."

"what happened?"

Aurora put her legs down with a serious face, "Your father is under surveillance. This operation is very dangerous. I may not be able to protect everyone. Although I can directly order you to go back, I still want to ask for your opinion. .”

Cole's eyelashes trembled, and he subconsciously clenched the strap on his left shoulder.

Aurora was not in a hurry to let him make a conclusion immediately, she leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes again. She was very tired, and this was the most difficult time since joining the Survey Corps.

The three of Alan were taken away, the investigation corps operation was frozen, Ai Erwen was under surveillance, and they were hunted down by the Central Gendarmerie.

The relationship between the duke and them has been exposed, and the manufacture of weapons must not be hidden for long.

If this battle is defeated, neither the Cullen family nor they will end well.

"team leader."

Aurora opened her eyes and looked at Cole.The young man has matured a lot compared to a few years ago, he no longer has the childish and stubbornness of the past, and now he is already a man of indomitable spirit.

"If we really fail in the end, no matter whether we continue the mission or go home, we will have no escape. We are the only ones in the Corps who can act now. The recruits are still young. Although I am not as good as you and the captain, at any rate It’s not a bad combat power. I will stay and continue the mission, and you don’t have to protect me, Captain. You and Senior Luna have taken care of me too much these years. I don’t know how to express my gratitude. I have grown up, and I am A member of the Special Operations Squad of the Aurora Unit, he is no longer the brat who talked back to you a few years ago."

The boy's eyes were firm, and he sincerely expressed what was in his heart. Aurora listened quietly until he finished speaking, his eyelashes slowly drooping, and his eyes focused on the barren grass.

After a long time, a chuckle pierced the silence of the night. Cole blinked nervously and quickly, and the corners of Aurora's lips were slightly raised. It was a gratified smile.

"Oh, I see."

Cole breathed out a sigh of relief, his palms were covered with sticky sweat, and he rubbed his trouser legs uncomfortably.

Aurora looked into the distance, narrowed her eyes slightly, and a bad taste arose spontaneously. "Go and call them out, here comes the fish."

The carriage drove slowly to the muddy path not far from the house, and the protruding stones on the road blocked the driving force. As soon as Sanes poked his head out halfway, he was pointed at the forehead by the smiling Aurora.

"Huh... get them in and put them in the basement." Aurora clapped her hands, very satisfied with tonight's results.

Levi was carrying a gun on his waist, in a completely cool attitude, "Charlotte should be back soon."

"Ah, she is walking fast, and she will be back with Han Ji in about an hour."

Levi threw the gun to Aurora, and entered the room without looking back, "I'll go in and prepare to torture their things."

Aurora played with the gun in her hand and sat on the step of the carriage, "President, thank you."

Liebs didn't know whether it was right or wrong to agree to Aurora, and it was undeniable that the negotiation moved him.Aurora promised to do her best to help the Trost area. Although she is a low-ranking team leader, he has heard her name countless times. Many retired soldiers in this town are full of praise for her.

"Have you really made up your mind?"

Aurora smacked her lips, and replied calmly: "The president is waiting to drink the celebration bar."

Fregel looked at Aurora's chic back and sighed: "Dad, she is so beautiful and handsome... Tell me, ouch!! Why did you beat me, Dad?"

President Liebs withdrew his hand angrily, and silently despised, "Can't you see it? She and that Levi are a couple, and they are still thinking about things."

Fregel held a broken heart, wanted to cry but had no tears, he hated!The goddess who just worshiped has gone away from him!
